 Shri Ganesha Puja Cabella - 14.09.2002 (Pravachan of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi) Today we have gathered here to so pure that nothing can spoil them and worship Shri Ganesha. Shri Ganesha is malign them. This is such a great biessing the deity of innocence. When we are born we have that innocence is actually created as children it is Shri Ganesha who is in us and it was created much before. All acting and we are very innocent. It is such the innocence, everything was created a powerful thing that with this innocence much-much before we were created. It's children survive under many such a great quality for us to become circumstances and we love them because innocent. they are innocent. We enjoy them The greatest quality of Shri Ganesha is because they are innocent. Once we start joy, it gives you joy. As small children may growing, our Sahasrara also gets closed not speak even, but they give us so much and we develop all kinds of funny things joy. Joy giving quality comes from Shri Ganesha. Even after coming to Sahaja that enter into us. It doesn't go out, it's just there, it doesn't go out. Innocence has a Yoga, I have seen, people are not full of joy. great effect on our character and on our They are very serious, they don't know sense of chastity. Actually when you are how to laugh, how to enjoy anything. That's the sign that they are still lacking in innocent you don't know what is not chastity, what is being unchaste, what is innocence. being cunning? If you are innocent then So, it's important to understand that if you are looked after by Shri Ganesha you are Sahajayogis, you should be joyous himself. Anybody who tries to harm an and give joy to others, just like children. Innocent person, Shri Ganesha looks after How sweet they are! They may be newly born but how much joy they give you! But him and manages. Many people who are supposing you do not have that capacity to innocent in this world, of course they are very few, but they become so detached enjoy the innocence of children then from all worldly problems like lust and nobody can help you, Ganesha cannot help you, because there's an innate quality greed and many others, because they are

 May-June 2003 2. The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 Now the beauty of Shri Ganesha is this human beings have, and if you don't have that quality, no use having any other that it looks after your Kundalini, it guards your Kundalini, it guides your Kundalini sense. Some people like food, they like and throughout, on all the chakras. He has colours, they like all other things but if you don't have Shri Ganesha you cannot to bless you. If you don't have the purely enjoy anything. So it is only Shri blessings of Shri Ganesha, you will be Ganesha's blessing that we really enjoy completely useless fellow as a Sahaja everything in its full measure. Otherwise Yogi because all the time you are seeing the bad points of others, all the time you we start judging it, we start criticizing it. are dividing, I should say, you are getting People raise so many questions. If you into a problem by which you cannot enjoy see something and it gives you joy then anything. By temperament you think you you are supposed to give the explanation are very serious, you are very mature, you for that. As we have many critics in this world and they are all the time criticizing are very developed but you are not innocent. Such a person gives such a one or another. Now the critics are criticizing critics. That's the biggest headache to everyone. If there's one like that in the family, people want to get rid of problem. That's their job because him. Ganesha is not there and they go on So you should have the quality of Shri criticizing others, never criticizing Ganesha which is of giving joy to others, themselves and thinking no end of depends on how much joy you can give to themselves. With that they create very bad others. It doesn't want anything. Such a kind of a community which is actually very harmful. It's very dangerous. It's like person won't say that I must get this, I must have this position, I should be leader, having some sort of a boil or some sort of I should be this and that. No. He just enjoys a septic thing in your body, in your being. So if you cannot appreciate it and if you giving joy, joy to others and being humorous and kind and never-never tries cannot enjoy it then Shri Ganesha is to insult anyone and hurt anyone. If such a missing from you. You should be able to person hurts by mistake also he goes on enjoy everything, enjoy your Children, repenting about it and hundred times he enjoy children of other people. That's the will beg your pardon if he has hurt you. sign of your being completely blessed by Such a happy person is a real Sahaja Yogi. Shri Ganesha.

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 May-June 2003 That's the one we want to have all around- enlightened, then he sees it and enjoys the those who have no hatred for anyone, no humour behind it, the humour of all these malice for anyone and not finding faults people. What they are mad after, how they with another but trying to find what is the behave. I mean the way he understands the jokes behind it, jokes which is avoiding good point of that person, what is so reality. And reality is only possible if you are special about that person. He is not bothered as to what colour you are, in the realm of joy, otherwise all the time whether you are black or white, whether you find something wrong, something you are tall or short. It makes no difference upsetting, something disturbing. But if you because it is absolute-absolute joy and for see the humour behind everything then this absolute joy you don't criticize and you you are perfectly alright. For example, I don't try to find faults with others. Now the would say that I have had many such problem is that people are getting very experiences that people have told me, much advanced in this modern era, very Mother, such and such fellow is like that, advanced and they are very much more such and such fellow is like that. So I advanced in criticizing others, I think that's would ask that person 'Are you like that, direct. He will say, no l am not like that', but the thing they do, to criticize others. Also I said, 'why everybody sees that in you? All they have another very bad quality to identify themselves with the countries in of them must be wrong or you are wrong? which they live or with the family in which Then he would say 'may be myself', and they are. I have seen it creates such a that's how you see you can mould also problem. Also they identify themselves such people who think that they are with the different religions they follow. correct and the rest of the would is all bad Imagine from this, how many problems and they have every right to hate them and have come up that you start differentiating to think in the wrong direction. What between one and another! For example happens with that is that you lose the now supposing who is born say in one essence of joy. Essence of joy is in seeing in place, so he says he is the best, his everything, the source of joy. Supposing country is the best, his people are the best you see something here now if it is odd, it and there's nothing wrong with them. On the contrary, if a person is a real should give you also great sense of humour, if it is beautiful it should give you Sahajayogi, who has Ganesha within him

 May-June 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 wrong with you? Why do you think like that, another sense of appreciation. But I can't understand people who go on harping on why do you look at those things and always think that another person, some sort of a thing that has no meaning in their lives nor in the lives of others. I something wrong with him, and then you form groups and then you fight, you can would say my father had a great capacity have even wars with this kind of an idea to do that. Once I went home, so I said, that the other person is not alright and you 'my brother was praising this man for his are absolutely perfect. This is also with the music, what do you think?' He said, 'he is a musician, no doubt, but he is very country, I have seen. For example, even in Sahajayoga I have seen, if somebody is courageous'. I said, 'why?' 'Because he may go on singing anything, he never feels coming, say from India or from another bad about it, everybody might be nervous country anywhere, the leader will be anxious that he should or she should put or everybody might be laughing at it but he her candidate before. It's such an is not at all bothered. He goes on singing in his own ways.' So that is the beauty of identification which they are not still conscious of it. But then I play my tricks. Al understanding. Every defect in a person such things when they do, when they try to can be enjoyed, is very much a sense, I should say, very subtle sense by which support one party, one type of people, from one religion, we should say not religion you can enjoy every person. If he has now but countries. So this country defects then you enjoy them as humorous thing and if he has something very good identification is so much still in Sahaja Yoga that you come from one country then then also you can enjoy. So, why do you you want to support that country. I am from shun people? Why should you get out of that country. You will never appreciate that people, criticize them for nothing at all? Now these people have built up big whosoever is coming from any country is a Sahaja Yogi. We are a global community, organizations. For example, the Catholics we are not to be identified with one will hate the Protestants, the Protestants will hate the people who are Catholics. country, that our people should be married, What's the use of that? What's the use of that we should get our people there. All this I have noticed and I feel very kind of things hating each other on that point that sorry that you have not understood the somebody is a Protestant or somebody is nature of Sahajayoga. a Catholic? Just see yourself, see what is

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Isue 5 & 6 May-June 2003 Sahajayoga is a global thing, absolutely very good. They tell me what's going global. It has nothing to do with one wrong in their own country, what's the country or with one person. It's such a trouble in their own country, how the countrymen are? You see, very surprising! global thing that if you see the subtle side of it, it's very joy giving. God almighty has I was surprised how people told me that created this world as one. They might how some people who are in their country have United Nations, they might have this, are so misidentified and they are so they might have that but still they'are so against Sahaja Yoga, in a subtle manner. much identified with their country that they was surprised how they felt it that way. cannot correct also that country. Now for They said, Mother see they are not at all example, something is wrong with your global. Once you become global, all your country, they cannot accept. For them problems of provinces and things are everything is alright because they were finished. But that doesn't come into their born in that particular country or they head that we have to be global, we are appreciate some other country so they go Sahaja Yogis, we cannot identify ourselves on praising that country to such an extent with one country or another country. If we that they are destroyed and their ideas are do that then we are still lacking in our also destroyed. So, best thing is to see the universal personality. This universal personality comes to us joke behind being identified with one country. There is a big joke about it. I enjoy from Shri Ganesha. He is a universal, it very much. Among Sahaja Yogis also, I personality whether He is in India, whether have seen it's very common that they are He is in Italy, or in England. What is that identified with one country. If you are personality is innocence, very innocent, identified then you should try to correct very much innocent and not only that but that country. You should try to correct he is a joy giving personality. All such those countrymen who are following a people who are joy giving are recognized. particular type of ideologies. They never It's not that the world doesn't recognize. see that because they are so much They may not be knowing that they are involved with them that they don't see global but those who are global people write books on global ways, thinking about what's wrong with them. They will always see what's wrong with others. But I have global things and they can criticize also seen, those who are real Sahaja Yogis, are people of their own country. They can

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 May-June 2003 6. spoilt with that. You have your own criticize people of their own clan, they can go on like that but they can be slavish also chastity. You have your own life of very to some other country and try to praise chaste moments. It is now-a-days such a them too much. So, you are not to be modern style of thinking towards unchaste slavish, you have to not to be identified but life and all kinds of wrong ideas about chastity. If somebody now talks of chastity, you should be identified with your Self and people think he must be mad, how can that whatever your Self enjoys that should be expressed. That is the sign that your be? Everything is done these days. If you see-all the fashions are there. Once the Ganesha is there and that Ganesha is fashion starts, goes on spreading. Then working out. It's very important for leaders everybody will dress up in the same to understand this, because I have seen manner. They have no personality of their the way they are identified with their own. Everybody will be going wrong in the countrymen is sometimes shocking to me. I am really shocked how could they same manner, specially the women have lost their sense of chastity. They have lost be? They are not belonging to any country, their sense of chastity because the way they are no more, they are in the country of Shri Ganesha which is the country of love they dress up sometimes shocks me What is the need to dress up like this? and joy. If you cannot give love and joy then there's something wrong. Why can't you dress up properly? But it With His this quality only, people just-just shows that they have no character of their own. Actually they may become chaste, because chastity is a say, I am this, I am that but they are not. very joy giving thing, very joy giving. It is not a thing that you have to tell somebody or to They are nothing because they take to all force somebody or to restrict somebody kinds forces that run around. But look at the children, children are not like that. They but it is to enjoy it, to enjoy yourself and do not have all these funny ideas of enjoy the chastity of another person. It's impressing people with their unchaste life, such a great blessing of Shri Ganesha, none of them. On the contrary, children are such a great blessing that you enjoy your very conscious and they want to become own chastity. You are not bothered about very chaste people. This has an effect on the another person, he is chaste or not, if the eyes. I must say, Shri Ganesha acts he is doing bad things, if he is a ruined person, doesn't matter! You don't get through your eyes. How you look at a

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 May-June 2003 possession is so grotesque, is so person is very important. I have seen aggressive. So, one should look at things people losing complete control over their from Ganesha's angle-how will he do it, eyes. They go on looking at this person, looking at another person, looking at how will he use it? You learn from children. How they another person, just for nothing at all. But it's a matter of no Ganesha controlling watch things and how they work it out, them, and with this the eyes are spoilt. How they think. You will be amazed, how Spoilt means that you cannot look at sensible they are and the very sensible anything concentratedly. Then how can things they talk! Like, I met a child, so the you penetrate in to anything? Any child told me, I love the moon. I said, penetration is possible only if you can alright. Now, what's wrong with the moon? Nothing, but it hides itself under the clouds really adjust your eyes in such a manner all the time. 'So, I said why does he do that you see something at that time, for that? Because it walks too much, so he is that time, and not go on shifting your eyes tired and he has to rest and that's why he from one to another. It can be anything, it does it. So, if he doesn't walk so much if can come from anything. That means he keeps steady he won't have to do it.' Ganesha is the one who is a detector of our faults. For example, people have Just imagine a little child watching all greed. So they will start seeing who's these things! And I mean I was amazed how a little child knows what is right and wearing what clothes, what clothes they should wear. If they have greed then they what is wrong, how to behave, how to will see somebody has a nice house, I understand the proper way of doing things! They are not taught anything, they are should also have a nice house; but they never see the beauty of that house, they not conditioned, nothing, but they know never see the actual essence of that how to behave and they are always looked house but just they go on seeing thatI after by the Divine. I have known children should have this house of this kind, I who have fallen from great heights. nothing happened to them, and also should have that. They have no sense of snakes and all these things don't bite beauty I should say, they have only sense them. Even they say that tigers never try to of possession and that is such a bad thing eat children. What is it? What is so to say because sense of beauty is something so deep and sense of powerful about them that children are so

 May-June 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 person is definitely a person who has got safe and allowed to grow. But they grow his Self expressing through his joy. Such a person is so joy giving, so humorous and never degrading anyone. In every smal into such horrible creatures who are unchaste, who are running after women or women running after men is common play these days%3; thing he sees beauty and the nature of every creation is so beautiful. I am really It is' unbelievable how can people who are, even Sahaja Yogis, do this! Of course, surprised that how is it that poetry comes to very few people because they go on they don't, but some of them, they are still in this kind of a mess. So, when you have describing Ilove affairs, this that, all your Ganesha already established, just nonsensical things. What things make you before creating the whole universe the unhappy? Unhappy is not the sign of a Mother created Shri Ganesha. If He is person who is a realized soul. So, if you have that problem of unhappiness, just be there then life is very easy. Such a society is very easy to live, such a friendship also is so easy because there's nothing that is on the watch out and see why-why have you developed this kind of a funny attitude towards everything, why can't you enjoy possessiveness or any kind of a, you can call, perversity. When you have bad eyes everything? You go on watching this for women, bad eyes for money, bad eyes person, that person, you will never enjoy: while if you watch the children, it's very for possessions, Ganesha is spoilt. He just knows how to enjoy-enjoy everything. interesting. They look at, like I saw one If it belongs to you it doesn't matter, if it joke; there was a joke about a child-they belongs to me it doesn't matter but you had a guest in their house for food and he was eating. So this child saw that man should know how to enjoy the beauty of it eating, he said, 'mama, he doesn't eat like and that's enjoyment when you have within a horse. You said, he eats like a horse'. yourself, you don't grow old because all So, that's what they are-very simple, very the time you are enjoying. What is there to grow old? But normally it doesn't happen. simple hearted and that's how they correct people, correct. What you should talk to You are very critical, you are very, I should say, selfish and stupid sometimes, very children, what you should tell them about, it's very important because if you tell them much stupid. All that you lose on that grip over yourself which is joy. What is your something-don't do it, so they will do it in Self? Self is nothing but joy. A joyous such a manner that it will be ridiculous,

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 May-June 2003 absolutely ridiculous and they are so say, I would say, you should all write it obedient to begin with. They think that we down what your children talk. Because it are children, we should obey and this would be such a book of interesting obedience comes out of their simple episodes. Instead of writing about wars nature. But we should not try to tell them and horrible things that they have done in too many things and we should not control this world, better write what good things them with 'don't do this, don't do that. All there are which children can tell you. the time if you do like that, the children Children don't believe in all this kind of a won't understand. You don't have to tell mass nonsense of a fashion, they don't. them, But if they are chaste children, if See them they are properly dressed they are brought up in a chaste society, always, they are not bothered about that's why I always say 'send your children behaving in a mass way. So that means to our school.' Because children have to they are very independent on their own. be chaste. They must understand the They are not slaves of any society and value of chastity and this modern society they do not want to follow anything that is in the Western area, specially, are just generally followed, no! They follow destroying our children's innocence. We their own pattern and live in a very dignified should have learnt so much from the manner. They are extremely dignified and children, how innocent they are, how their sense of chastity is very well simple they are! They are very generous developed. They would not wear and children will give away everything that something that will expose their body or they have, everything. They don't will show that there is something wrong understand possession of things, just with them. Sometimes we neglect our imagine! If somebody likes something, children very much, because of money 'alright have it,' and they will keep problems may be, I don't know what something for a person who likes husband-wife problems there are and the something. They are wonderful people and children are neglected. Once they are we have to learn a lot from children. Their neglected, anything can happen to them, and I think it's a very great sin on the part of smiling faces and their joy should teach us how to behave because Ganesha shines people to produce children and to neglect through them, very clearly. All the them. intelligence, all the beautiful things they Children should be given the first, the

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 May-June 2003 10 are towards nice things and good things. primary place in the household, in the family and they should be looked after by They don't sort of take to all these things. everyone. They are the most important Then also because of modern life children thing, not somebody who is the head of the have developed a kind of funny character family, he can shout at the children. when they grow up. I don't like this, I don't like that and they fall into funny-funny, I Nothing of the kind. Moreover I have seen that the way we take to all odd things and should say, ideas about life which we must bad habits, children never take. They know try to guard because these days the that it is bad, this should not be done. By society is growing so fast. There are their innocence they know, it should not be televisions, there are so many I should say done. They may sometimes, you know, propagating things which are not good for play with fire, do something like that. But children. They should not see them also. If the children are realized souls they don't once they get burnt by it, they will never touch it again. They are extremely fast in like to see. They don't like to see violence, they don't like to see nonsense, I have learning because that is the age they are, seen it. They don't like, but the parents are in growing; but actually what is needed now is that the elders must grow. The sitting and enjoying nonsense, so they are children are growing, they learn, what also sitting. Gradually it might crawl into their heads but normally children don't like about the elders! They have to learn also, how to be nice and kind to everyone and to any violence, any beating any kind of a be compassionate with all the rest of thing. So we have to learn a lot from them them. This idea of criticism comes from where I don't know. But like, they will go because they are innocent, because they anywhere, they will start criticizing. have the quality of innocence. So they are to be respected. I don't like people beating Children never criticize, they never see these things, never. They will just get into their children or hitting them and fulflling that house or place and just enjoy it and their ambitions through the children. It's see the good points of that house. Always very-very wrong. You should leave them as they come in and tell, see, they had one alone, they are perfect. Only thing is they very nice Shri Ganesha's, this thing. The should be given proper ideas at a time, house may be dirty, there might be smell, appreciation for their chastity, for their well anything, doesn't matter. See their eyes behaviour. That should be done, What

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 May-June 2003 11 should not be given a kind of a idea of the Shri Ganesha who is on the left side, not on the right side. First you develop your left society in which they live, where the children get spoiled and I was surprised I side then you come to right, you are met one child the other day and the child alright. That's why we have our said, I want to have a car. Which car? Sahajayoga completely built in on Shri Mercedes. I said, why don't you go for a Ganesha. Once he is there you are Ferrari? So, you see this money completely alright and no problem. There's no lack of wisdom. Once you are with Shri orientation also comes from childhood. From childhood if you talk of all these Ganesha, you see the point absolutely clearly, how to behave, how to live and you things, money orientation, children also don't take to stupid things like lust, greed know this and they talk like that. There are and nonsense. But people are mad, you many other things for children we should just avoid. Don't allow them to go near all know. They take to any kind of thing when such things which are creating money they grow up but as children if they have orientation because that is the problem of an influence, very beautiful influence of today that everywhere you find people who proper family life, proper school life, proper have made money illegally, so much guidance, proper love and help in money has been made, and there's no everyway in their growth then children need to do that but still you see they do. become extremely, extremely good, beautiful. I bless all the Sahaja Yogis to This money orientation is a funny thing; it's greed, it's madness I tell you it's real have children of that nature and to look madness. A person wants to have say after their children. That's very important twenty five cars. Is he going to sit on the because they are tomorrow's Sahaja twenty five cars? He wants to have twenty Yogis, and they should be of better quality. five aero planes, what is he going to do Because you are coming from another lot, with that? For that he is cheating they are coming from the innocence. So they are very pure and their purity must be everyone, troubling everyone, taking the respected and must be guarded. May be money of others. It's better to be poor than that we understand the importance of to be like that. So, this is what is happening today is children and develop Ganesha qualities in that people have gone. The track is wrong. them. It's the right side track, right side track. I Thank you very much. should say we start our Sahaja Yoga from

 CHRISTMAS PUJA Ganpatipule - 25-12-02 (Pravachan of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi) sacrifice because he had a power, Power Merry Christmas to you all.

Because he could feel like America where there was no them, he tried to help all kinds of diseased corruption but there were people making people under-priviledged, while today's big big big money. They are supposed to be disciples of Christ! Its beyond me. India world has come to such a nonsense that was once upon a time a real saintly they help countries to fight.

Then have made these arrangements and on there is "Hamsa" Chakra. Thus there are my own behalf also, I thank them a lot. This is a beautiful place they have chosen three more-seven plus three make ten. Then-there are four chakras above the for us. It is also a gift of God, that at this Sahasrara. And about these chakras also, time the thing about which I was going to speak, sitting under the same trees the I have told you - Ardha-Bindu, Bindu, talk of Sahasrara is taking place. Fourteen Valaya and Pradakshina. These are the four. After coming to Sahaja Yoga and after years ago or we could say already thirteen your Sahasrara has opened, you have to have passed and now the fourteenth years year has started, this great work of pass through these four chakras, Ardha- Bindu, Bindu, Valaya and Pradakshina. opening the Sahasrara was accomplished After passing through these four charkas in this world. I have told you about this only, can you say that you have become a many times on every Sahasrara day, as to Sahaja Yogi. what had happened, how it was done and And if you see from another angle, we what is its importance. But the fourteenth birthday is very have to cross fourteen stages in reaching up to Sahasrara; if you divide them then important because man lives at fourteen there are seven chakras situated on Idā levels and the day he crosses over the Nadi (Channel) and seven on Pingla Nādi. fourteenth level, he becomes a complete When man makes his ascent, he does Sahaja Yogi. Therefore, today Sahaja Yoga not do so in straight direction. He comes has also become Sahaja Yogi. first to left then goes to right, then again to Like this, God has created fourteen left and then again to right. And when levels within us. If you simply count them, Kundalini ascends, it also does so, then you know that there are seven Chakras within us. Besides these, there dividing Herself into these two. The reason

 May-June 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 5 & 6 37 for it can be understood if I take the Rājanā, Birājanā-these words I have example two ropes. These two ropes said to you many times earlier, also; but together, side by side-in the process of today, specially, we should understand that on Sahasrara day what is Rajanā to going up or coming down-cross over reign, to be the master, what is Birājanā to twice. (Here Shri Mataji explained the rising of Kundalini along Ida & Pingala assume. Nadis; and making 4 loops-two each in Now, you are sitting, you look at these trees. This is the tree of Shriphala.

Shriphala, which is coconut- Kundalini ascends, you see on the chakra whether you have ever thought about it or whether the left is caught or the right is not, I don't know.

Thus, within us, if each chakra is nowhere else. The best fruit grows at the divided into these two-left and right-then sea coast. The reason is this, that the sea- it is the 'Dharma'.
